I’m rooting for Rickie astronomically hard and want him to be serviceable to great against Duke. It will be a knife in the heart if he doesn’t grow how I think he will.
Vegas either has literally zero faith in Rickie Collins or are overcompensating a classic let down spot after a big win. We get a bad defense in a “sold out” dome with a boatload of momentum and Duke is -6.5… Very odd.
Duke is 1-3 ATS. Small sample size and Vegas is right a lot more than they're wrong, but sometimes they can't even get a read on some teams in a given year.
That said, I fully expect Cuse to be a popular square dog this week...
